Chapter 231
Saying Good Bye
Su Qing had just finished cooking the Eight Treasures Rice when she heard Si Qin’s report from the doorway, “Madam, Miss, Fourth Master Ning from Jin Xiu Garden next door is here to see you . ”
Su Qing was stunned . Seeing that Mu Yunyao was sitting at the table, about to eat, she quickly looked over and rebuked, “This little girl, didn’t you hear that a guest had come to visit? Put it down, and we’ll eat later . ”
After that, she can’t help but direct Si Qin to remove the things on the table . After tidying up the sleeves and skirt, she invited the person inside .
Yue w.a.n.g dressed in a light blue outfit with dark lines embroidered on silver silk thread, and it matched with his slightly cold and handsome face . He looked remarkably n.o.ble and unparalleled . “Greetings, Madam Su . Greetings, Miss Mu . ”
Mu Yunyao looked at Yue w.a.n.g with wariness in her eyes . She had just decided to sever all relations with him, but now he had come to visit her mother . Just what was his purpose in doing so?
Looking at her expression, Yue w.a.n.g felt unwell in his heart . They had been to get along for a long time, but Mu Yunyao actually didn’t have any trust in him .
Su Qing didn’t notice the expressions of the two of them and hurriedly said, “Young Master Ning, don’t be polite . Seeing that your face is peculiarly pale, take the liberty to ask, but what’s wrong with your body?”
“It’s nothing . It’s just that I’m having a chill for a few days and will be fine after resting for a couple of days . There’s something urgent at home for me to go back, so I’m here to say goodbye to Madam . ”
“Are you still on your way back when you are ill?”
“There’s no other way . The matter is urgent, and we can’t delay it . ” As Yue w.a.n.g spoke, he coughed lightly twice . His pale face was drenched in a cold sweat, making people even more worried .
“Quick, sit down . Yao’er, don’t you know some medical skills? Hurry up and help Young Master Ning take a look . This cold is not something to be ignored . Don’t take it for granted because you have a good foundation . ” Su Qing turned her head to look at Mu Yunyao, “Yao’er, hurry and go?”
“Understood, Mother . ” Mu Yunyao walked over to Yue w.a.n.g’s side, her eyes filled with cold intent .
On the other hand, Yue w.a.n.g’s expression was very gentle . Even though his smile was faint, his eyes seemed filled with warmth . “I’ll have to trouble Miss Mu . ”
Mu Yunyao already knew about the body condition of Yue w.a.n.g, but he said that he had caught a cold . At this time, she could not tell Su Qing the truth, “Fourth Master should pay more attention to recuperation, and it will be fine after a few more days of rest . ”
Su Qing looks at Yue w.a.n.g’s appearance and secretly regretted in her heart . This Young Master Ning in front of her, no matter if it was his appearance or temperament, was not to be trifled . However, his age did not match up to Yunyao’s, and with Young Master Ning’s background, he must have already gotten married at this age and established a family . “Young Master Ning is not feeling well, so you must have should pay more attention in the road, and you should prepare all the medicine and clothes that you usually take when you’re ill, so as not to aggravate your illness . ”
“Thank you for your concern, Madam . During the new year, I am very grateful for Madam not giving up on inviting Steward Qin and me to come over . It could be said to be the happiest New Year for me . ” Yue w.a.n.g’s tone was calm, and there was not much sadness on his face, but when people heard it, they would feel distressed in their hearts .
Su Qing had been interacting with the Madams of the various families in Jingling City . She knew that the bigger the family, the more influential the family . This Young Master Ning’s demeanor and speech are extraordinary, and his family background is supposed to be more profound . I’m afraid there are more unpleasant things: “What’s the matter? Seriously speaking, the capital is not far too away from Jingling City . Young Master Ning, you can come here and relax whenever you have time . ”
Muyunyao quickly stepped forward and stood on Su Qing’s side . “Mother, Young Master Ning’s family is busy . How can he come out often?”
“I’m alone, so I have nothing to worry about anything . If I don’t have a father watching over me, then no one would miss me even if I stayed out all day . ” Yue w.a.n.g couldn’t help but sigh .
Su Qing was stunned, “Alone? Forgive me for being presumptuous, but has Young Master Ning not gotten married yet?”
Yue w.a.n.g shook his head: “Because of delay in various things . Even now, I am still alone . ”
Su Qing was a little curious and wanted to find out what had delayed him . However, she knew that it was not appropriate to ask . She could only suppress her curiosity and said, “It’s not too late to get married and start a business after everything had dealt with . ”
Yue w.a.n.g’s gaze swept across Mu Yunyao’s face, and he nodded with a smile in his eyes: “I only hope that someone can know each other and stay with each other . If it weren’t for love in my heart, there would be no harm in waiting a few more years . ”
“Young Master Ning’s thoughts are quite rare . ” Su Qing felt a sense of appreciation . People who come from such a family as Young Master Ning would probably have three wives and four concubines . To be able to say what he had just said, regardless of whether or not he could do it in the end, was already very rare .
Yue w.a.n.g prepared a present and gave it to her: “I have prepared a small gift, and I hope Madam will not mind . ”
“Young Master Ning is too polite . How can this be used?”
“This is a token of my appreciation . Please accept it, Madam . I still need to thank Miss Mu . If it weren’t for her help to manage and run Jin Xiu Garden, there wouldn’t be Bu Xian Luo like now . Besides, I earned quite a bit of silver with her . After I left Jingling City, I’ll still need to bother Madam and Miss Mu to take care of it . ”
Su Qing gestured for Si Qin to accept the gift and said to Yue w.a.n.g, “Young Master Ning, please be at ease . When we were borrowing Jin Xiu Garden, we were the ones who took advantage of it . How can we not put in all our effort?”
Yue w.a.n.g stood up and cupped his hands to bid farewell to Su Qing: “It’s getting late . I need to get to the city as soon as possible . The horses had already prepared, and I hope we can get there before nightfall . ”
“Are you in such a hurry?” Su Qing quickly asked Si Qin to pack some snacks and small dishes and handed the food box to Yu Heng . “Young Master Ning, be careful on your journey . Don’t be too anxious, and don’t rush on the journey . The most important thing is to take good care of yourself . ”
“Yes, thank you, Madam . ”
Su Qing brought Mu Yunyao out of the residence and watched Yue w.a.n.g mount the horse as he left . She could not help but sigh with emotion . “This Young Master Ning is really not bad . He heard that something was going on at home and decided to set off even when he was sick . I wonder how uncomfortable the journey will be …”
As Su Qing said this, she didn’t hear Mu Yunyao’s response . She couldn’t help but raise her head and look over . When she saw her dazed expression, she was slightly alarmed in her heart . “Yao’er, what are you thinking?”
This desperate appearance, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed as though that their relationship had just begun, and she couldn’t bear to part from him .
“I’m not thinking of anything . It’s just that I’m a little curious . Why did this Young Master Ning come all the way here to say goodbye to us?” Mu Yunyao hurriedly suppressed her thoughts .
However, when Su Qing saw how anxious she was to explain it, as though she seemed to want to cover it up . Su Qing decided to watch it first, in case Yao’er didn’t understand what she was thinking, and decided to tell her, “Didn’t Young Master Ning say it just now? Firstly, it’s thanks, and secondly, it’s to ask us to take care of Jin Xiu Garden . This Young Master Ning is our benefactor, and if he didn’t lend us Jin Xiu Garden, we wouldn’t have been able to open Bu Xian Luo like this time . Yao’er, no matter what, you should take good care of Jin Xiu Garden, understand?”
